Scientists take huge step forward in making atlas of all 37 trillion cells in the human body

Scientists published more than three dozen papers as part of the Human Cell Atlas, an effort to map the human body cell by cell. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

A new batch of 'brain atlases' shows how brain cells change from embryo to maturity. The field could soon show when problems like dementia emerge.

Scientists say they need better access to human brain tissue to understand how dementia, Alzheimer's, epilepsy, autism, multiple sclerosis and other brain conditions develop over time.Being able to ...

Pathway provides new insight into how cilia on cell surfaces break down before division

Whispers in the womb: How cells “hear” to shape the human body

Scientists found that embryonic skin cells “whisper” through faint mechanical tugs, using the same force-sensing proteins that make our ears ultrasensitive. By syncing these micro-movements, the cells ...

Scientists Discover Cells That Defy Death and Form New Life After the Body Dies. Enter The “Third State”

When we think of death, we imagine a final, irreversible end. But what if death is not as absolute as it seems? What if some parts of us — our cells, our tissues — continue to fight for survival, even ...

Scientists created human egg cells from skin cells — then used them to make embryos

In a proof-of-concept experiment, scientists demonstrated that you can create and fertilize human eggs in the lab using sperm, genes from skin cells, and the "shells" of existing egg cells.
